Are you unknowingly repelling your board with the very leadership strategies you think are helping you?

Most CEOs obsess over presentation polish or technical prep, but elite executive leadership demands something far more subtle — the ability to lead boardroom dynamics through energy, silence, and authority.

In this episode, we break down the three CEO skills that separate leaders who merely manage meetings from those who command rooms. You'll learn how to read emotional undercurrents before you speak, how to use silence as a power move, and how to validate perspectives without sacrificing authority.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. How to manage boardroom energy before opening your mouth — and why it matters more than your agenda
2. How elite CEOs use silence to project authority and deepen influence
3. How to balance empathy and authority to make board members feel heard without losing decision-making power
